The Inn At Seaport Village sits at 11 General Moore Way in Ellsworth, Maine, and holds a Residential Care Facility Type 4 license with the number RCD38597, so folks know it's meant for seniors who might need help with daily things, and inside there's enough room for about 30 people, and that size makes it feel less overwhelming if someone prefers a quieter place. The facility combines assisted living, nursing home care, and rehabilitation all in one building, which means someone moving in could stay in the same community even if the type of care needed changes over time. Each apartment, whether it's a studio, a one-bedroom, or a semi-private unit, comes already furnished, with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and even a kitchenette if someone wants to fix their own simple meals, but daily housekeeping, laundry, and meal service are there if someone doesn't want to handle chores or cooking anymore.
There's a big focus on helping residents stay as independent as possible, so the staff is there 24/7 to help with bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and getting around, but they also have safety features covered, since there are panic buttons, emergency call systems, and staff on call at all hours, and bathrooms can be private and ADA compliant. If someone needs extra help with memory care, Parkinson's care, or even feeding, staff will step in as needed, and nurses coordinate with doctors and handle medications, and those managing diabetes or special diets get meals prepared for their needs. Out in the shared spaces, you get access to a garden, pathways for walking, a reading room, a hair salon, spaces for chapel service, a movie room, and places to join in community or resident-run activities, plus there's always something going on, like music, art, or exercise classes, and the holidays get special celebrations too.
Pets are welcome if someone likes having a companion, and transportation's available for doctor's appointments or trips around town, which is handy since the area is close to things like parks, cafes, pharmacies, and hospitals. The Inn At Seaport Village offers full maintenance-free living, so folks don't have to worry about fixing things or yard work. There's an on-site rehab room for those who need therapy, and respite care for families needing a short break. Safety's a priority, with security around the facility all day and night, and each resident can pick a shared room to save costs or a private space to themselves. While the nursing home part has a one-star rating from Medicare, reviews from families and residents average around 7.6 out of 10, so experiences can vary. People who like groups can join scheduled and unscheduled activities, join in social events, or find quieter times in the library. Options for living arrangements and levels of care are pretty broad here, so someone can usually find what fits without too much fuss, and the community does what it can to let people keep up with hobbies and social connections, while also making sure support is right there when it's needed.
